Pick apart the pieces
let me know all that you find
there's secrets in your lies
...that are leaking through your eyes
and the hole that you tore
in the sky to disguise
all that haunted you and
never wanted me to realize
but here I stand spinning
the wheel of this misfortune
I don't get to pick my prize...
all the flaws in your design
I never noticed or
duly noted
I guess you're beauty made me
blind captivated by the pixilated
painting that respirated the
good grace that went to die
upon your pitiful face
porcelain cheeks shatter when
you chuckle at your reflection
and crumble in which direction
you decide to lay to day
so goodbye for now
I know you'll wake at a later date
I won't worry till it's time to
but wait, hold up
who am I really lyin' to
I ain't got the time for two
but I got plenty of time for you
I know this style is kind of new
burned away the worthless shit
skin graft to flourish this
















new spit, same old kid
new skin, same old wrist
I need a fucking pen to write
I need a night alone to breath
I feel the tension in no light
when I don't hold you half as tight
as you think we used to be
you must have an eye closed
cause it takes two see
the surface AND perceive the depth
my heart lives in a song
who's tempo depends on your chest
so, take two for the road
and one for the way back
I know I seem pretty stressed
but really i'm laid back
or maybe I got that backwards
another half hapless bastard stuck
running after answers
on the back of flash cards
that flap hard fly away
some day i'll find away
to not make the same mistake
but I accept responsibility
for every single one i've made
and when you cul-de-sac back
after running laps around the town
maybe you'll realize
I wasn't the source of your frown
I bent your lips into a smile
and this music's the ONLY reason
you ain't seen me in a while

there's morphine in the closest
but wait, before you numb it
there's more, of THIS scene to deposit
you don't see me behind this mike
but you're damn sure I rock it
I got so much love to give
roses over flowing pockets
and not one squirts water it's
no joke mixing dirt,
with the water just to
muddy up all that you know so
we can't blame you if your wrong
but don't you see really, I never
left you're the one that's always gone
so welcome back....
good see you in my song
it's been a while huh?
Yeah, you look a little different
no, it's not something new
it looks like somethings missing
I noticed that your grinning
but where'd the pain go
something in your veins to help you glow
oh no, your straight? You cool
just wondering why i'm
still making this music
Truly I couldn't tell ya
I guess I was the problem
sorry if I confused you or
sent you down the wrong path
some day i'll answer
to the mistakes of my past
